Qualifying For Social Security Disability in Georgia

To qualify for Social Security Disability, you must show that you are disabled according to the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability. This definition is different than what you may think and is different than the standard of worker’s compensation disability or employer disability.

You must prove all of the following

You are age 18 or older

You paid into Social Security through your previous jobs long enough to qualify – your annual Social Security statement usually indicates whether you are eligible

You cannot do any work in your usual profession because of your medical condition

You cannot adjust to any other type of work considering your medical condition, age, education, past work experience and transferable skills.

The disability is neither a partial disability nor a short-term disability

We will help you with all the paperwork, the appearance before the judge and any other thing that comes up that you will need legal help with. In short, we make your application and appeal a breeze.
